Ghost ant control that targets the colony

Ghost ants form huge colonies with many queens, so the wrong treatment just splits them into more. Our approach eliminates the colony instead of scattering it.

Trail & colony tracing

We follow the trails back to nesting sites indoors and out, so treatment reaches the source.

Non-repellent baiting

We use baits and non-repellent products the ants carry home — the only way to collapse a multi-queen colony.

Kitchen & bath focus

Ghost ants love moisture and sweets. We target kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points where they forage.

Recurring protection

Recurring service keeps new colonies from moving in from the yard during Florida's long warm season.

Central Florida pest control calendar

Our climate keeps pests active all year — but the pressure shifts by season. Here's what we watch for and treat month to month across the Orlando metro.

Mar – May

Spring

  • Ants
  • Termite swarmers
  • Wasps
  • Mosquitoes

Warm, wet weather triggers ant trails and termite swarms — the ideal time to start prevention.

Jun – Aug

Summer

  • Mosquitoes
  • Palmetto bugs
  • Fire ants
  • Fleas

Peak Florida pest season. Humidity and rain drive roaches and mosquitoes indoors and out.

Sep – Nov

Fall

  • Rodents
  • Spiders
  • Cockroaches
  • Earwigs

As nights cool, rodents and roaches look for a warm way inside. Seal-up and perimeter work matter most.

Dec – Feb

Winter

  • Rodents
  • German roaches
  • Silverfish
  • Spiders

Pests don't disappear here — they move indoors. Recurring service keeps them from settling in.

Why ant sprays make ghost ants worse

Spraying a ghost ant trail with a repellent product triggers “budding” — the colony splits and scatters into several new ones. That's why they seem to spread after you spray. We use non-repellent baits the ants carry back, eliminating the colony at its source.

Ghost ant control FAQ

Ghost ants are drawn to moisture and sweets, so kitchens and bathrooms are prime spots. They nest in wall voids, potted plants, and outdoors, then trail inside to forage.

Repellent sprays cause the colony to “bud” and split into new colonies. We use non-repellent baits the ants carry back to the nest, which eliminates the colony instead of scattering it.

Because baiting works through the colony, you'll usually see a steep drop within one to two weeks, with follow-up to ensure the nest is fully eliminated.

Yes. We place baits and products where ants travel and pets and children can't reach, and we offer lower-toxicity options.
